Test Drive

Welcome to the test drive for Time Trapped. This is an open forum to test out your characters to see how they would fit into the game and if you might be interested in apping them here. We want you to feel comfortable and, of course, test drive threads can be used as samples on your application to join.

First, a few housekeeping things before we start:

  ∞Apps will be open as of Dec 10th at 12 AM, and will reopen on the first of every month. They will remain open until the 10th of each month before closing.

  ∞Both first and third person prompts are allowed in the test drive. We encourage both. We also encourage making multiple prompt options in your post.

  ∞Finally, you will be allowed to transfer your test drive threads over into the game canon should you apply and be accepted.

  ∞If you have any other questions please feel free to refer to the FAQ or contact the mods directly.

Aside from that, happy test driving.

Instructions:

Prompts

   1. Acclimating to the environment
While Gideon has a part of the area sectioned off for now based on her calculations of where the time anomalies are going to occur the area is still large and confusing. It’s easy for a person to get lost or overwhelmed in this big mish-mosh of a world. Perhaps you are lost, or maybe you are just settling in.


   2. Reach out and touch someone
Gideon has been kind enough to provide you with a way to communicate. Whether that be a device or a simple SIM card. Why not try it out by sending a public message. Of course, you could also be sending it by accident.


   3. Make peace, not war
While LA has become a hodgepodge of different times it has also become a hodgepodge of different areas as well. Exploring the downtown LA brings you to a section of Greenwich Village in New York. Unfortunately what was once a peaceful protest has grown into a fight between Mogul hordes and peace loving hippies who just want to protest. Local enforcement is, of course, trying to sort out this mess but it seems they might need a bit of outside help.


   4. What's this strange building?
The 'Hall of Justice' stands in a sorry state as nature is trying to overtake it. Vines are crawling up the walls and there is Dimetrodon sunbathing in the courtyard, or what's left of it. Inside, any technology seems to have been destroyed and there is no sign of life. Still, it is a ruin left to be explored and the local archaeological society is willing to pay good money for relics from inside. Be warned that there may still be some rather nasty traps active inside and around the hall. If you happen to be a from the DC world you might see a few familiar faces among the broken statues that once adorned this building.


   5. Let’s dance
The Verdant. A rousing nightclub in 'bad neighborhood' of what was once Starling City circa 2013. There seems to be a wide variety of patrons here tonight, anything from Greek Scholars to some Greasers. What a great place to grab something to drink or maybe cause a little trouble.


   6. Dressing in style
Perhaps you arrived in less than ideal clothing. You may have arrived in no clothing at all. It might just be about time to look through some clothing stores and find what is right for you. Of course, it’s never that easy though. There are pickpockets and thieves all over the streets. You may just become their next victim.

   7. Home for the Holidays
Little old London town is high in festivities right now. It's Christmas and the area surrounding Big Ben is snowy, though it's a bit melty due to the climate in LA. Festive decor and foods for sale circa 1885 in england and emotions are cheery and positive. Take a horse and buggy or attend a christmas party.

Just hope the mongols don't show up. Or Amazons.

   8. Wild Card. Go nuts.

"...maybe?" Shaking her head, pulling her wrist away but...she'll follow him, she guesses. For now.

[orions_shadow]

He lets her go easily and walks on towards the streets, towards a place with more modern clothes for sale. "What size are you?" He asks as they near his destination.

[godelsolution]

More modern than rags? Pshaw. "I...have no idea." It's not like she goes shopping. She wears what they hand her in the bunkers, and then this outfit from the camps.

[orions_shadow]

"I'll guess then." He replies before phasing into a shadow that's in the wall. The shadow on the ground then starts moving swiftly from the alley towards a clothing shop nearby. He gets a hoodie like his own and a pair of pants. Those were good enough for now. Provided she's where he left her when he returns, the pops out and offers her the clothing.

[godelsolution]

Against all reason, especially after a display like that with the shadows, she is still there. And takes the clothes with a vague and shaky "Thanks?"

[orions_shadow]

"Your welcome." He turns away so she can change into it, also watching for creepers and predators. As luck would have it, he does get a predator. A single velociraptor coming to check him out, but since it's the size of a turkey he snarls and postures at it, bapping it in the nose. Go on. Get.

[godelsolution]

Changed, she'll get. As quick as possible. At least she has experience on this, from the bunkers? The velociprator? Gives her pause. She's never even seen the BONES of something like that. "...what was that?"

[orions_shadow]

Well, it's like a bird. She's seen birds, right? Thing is covered in feathers too. "It's a dinosaur." He replies after sending the little beast off. "We'd better go before more come."

[godelsolution]

Point of fact, Allison Young has NOT ever seen a bird. Judgement Day was pretty awful in it's decimation of a lot of living creatures. "More?"

[orions_shadow]

"They hunt in packs." He replies before nodding his head towards the direction of the ship. "C'mon. I know where it's safe."

[godelsolution]

If it's a bunker, she's in. "...okay." Reluctantly, she will follow.

[orions_shadow]

Leading the way, it's not a bunker, but a place much, much nicer. A large apartment complex. "Here it is."

[godelsolution]

It's not really anything she's ever seen before. "Wow..."

[orions_shadow]

The way she looks and acts, it seems she came from a worse place than he did! "Not familiar with living in the lap of luxury, ay?"
